This is a fantastic gift. In Brazil, we drink a lot of coffee and we like it strong (is that how you say it?). So, this is perfect for us, to drink a hot, srong (?) coffee in a park or at work.

2. Handspresso traveling coffee maker
We use this coffee maker whenever we go traveling in the car it is great for coffee lovers it might not be as good as some coffee shops but when you are in the middle of nowhere driving for hours it is a dream come true

Just having it with you it has been quite a talking point as well only problem it stopped compressing the last time we used it

I had to send it away to get it fixed they returned it with a few extra seals seems that was the problem and easy to repair yourself on the road reason I sent it away I have a habit of breaking things but now I know how it works I will replace the seal myself when it breaks next time

  • 24 standard bottles (12 + 12)/66L capacity
  • LED temperature display with touch-sensitive controls
  • Environment friendly (refrigerant free)
  • No vibration (bottle sediment is not disturbed)

This Tool & Gadget Sets give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Nice but...
Shelves don't accommodate typical champagne bottle widths. Doesn't achieve minimum temp in warm garage, same garage presumably where the warmer feature would come into play. I don't see any obvious "not for use in a garage" advice on the web description, but clearly marked in the paperwork that accompanies the cooler?

2. Looks nice and works well
Based off of various reviews I've read of other units in this price point this seems to be one of the best options. A few complains I've noticed about other wine coolers are: the shelves are too small, the depth is too short and/or it's hard to get the bottle in/out.

In this unit, two standard bottles have plenty of space on each wired shelf. Enough that a (slightly) oversized bottle would still slip in. Additionally, there's about 1.5 inches between the end of a standard bottle and the inside glass (the glass is double pane for insulation). That means you can return a bottle partially corked or with some kind of oversized wine saver vacuum sealer and the door will still close properly. Finally, because the shelves have enough space, the bottles are easy enough to slid in and out. The racks don't slide in and out like some models however it's unnecessary since the bottles are so accessible.

This is a thermoelectric cooler which means, while there's no compressor...

ELectrical Panel Issues
The first unit I got never went below 54 degrees when placed in a cool room (65 degrees). Then the left side electrical panel went dark and took the left side cooling with it. The new unit I received seems to be working much better so far (will go down to 45 degrees on one side), but I've only had it for a couple days.

Nesco FS-130 Food Slicer

Cheapest Nesco FS-130 Food Slicer
==================================================================

This professional 130 Watt Food Slicer works great for virtually all types of foods including meats, cold cuts, vegetables, cheese, frozen food, and even soft-crust bread. The unit features a 7-1/2-inch German-manufactured Solingen stainless-steel undulated blade for precision cuts so no worries about food sticking to the blade. Plus, the thickness can be easily adjusted from 1/32-inch to 1-inch depending on the food being sliced and individual preferences. Angled slicing surface. Features inclu...
  • Professional 130-watts of power
  • 7-1/2-Inch Solingen stainless-steel undulated blade
  • Adjustable thickness from 1/32-Inch to 1-Inch
  • Suction cup feet for operational stability
  • Carriage and slide bar are removable for easy cleaning

This Tool & Gadget Sets give to us some advantages, like this :
1. You get what you pay for....
We recieved one for xmas one year and we have found that we use it a lot more than we thought. Pros: It cuts meat and cheese well for home use. One has to cut a ham in smaller pieces before using the unit, but the cut widths allow for several different settings, excellent for sandwich style or chunkier for stews. The unit comes apart easy for cleaning and is easy to reassemble. I believe that this unit is a good all purpose unit for the occational home use. Cons: Plastic back which determines the thickness of the cut is flimsy. One can not put alot of preassure on the back plate is as wobbles while you're cutting. The motor could be more powerful. One has to take your time cutting meats or sausage that are firmer. The unit moves as your cutting as it doesn't have the suction cups. The unit has nooks and cranies which makes it harder to clean. But overall, it was a great gift to receive.

2. Not what I expected
This food slicer doesn't have a plate or something to get the fruit juice and it is not easy to clean.
If you want to slice pineapple or mango you will have a spare leftover.
To slice watermelon, you have to push harder and the plastic holder breaks easily.
Hope you find this helpful.

Big Mouth Toys Gigantic 12-Feet Beach Ball

Buy Big Mouth Toys Gigantic 12-Feet Beach Ball
==================================================================

Imagine all the fun you could have playing with this gigantic beach ball. Looks just like the classis 3 color beach ball, but supersized. Inflates from 12' flat to about 9 to 10 feet diameter when fully inflated.
  • Extra thick, 30 mm vinyl material
  • Bright colors
  • Great for parties, the beach
  • Includes an emergency patch kit
  • Large valve for quick and easy inflation/deflation

This Tool & Gadget Sets give to us some advantages, like this :
1. It's not a 12 foot beach ball, though it is pretty big. It's also made of cheap plastic.
We got two large beach balls in the same order, one from US Games, and this one from Big Mouth Toys. The US Games ball is made of heavy plastic, it has a nice rope attached to it, and it is the stated size.

This one was a disappointment. It's a nice, large ball—but the plastic is just a slightly heavier version of the usual beach ball plastic; it won't hold up very well, I fear. (It is also very static-y, which for us is a plus - we intended to use it for motion experiments, but we'll use it for static electricity experiments instead.) And it is NOT 12 FEET ACROSS. It's 8 feet, perhaps 9. If you look at the picture, you can see that it is clearly edited. I am not sure where they got the 12 foot number. This isn't the radius, the diameter or the circumference.

So, it's kind of cool, but it's not very sturdy and it is not as big as advertised. We'll keep it because it does great static stuff. But if you want a large ball to play with on the beach, don't get...

2. The hit of the party
Got this for our community event at a farm and the kids loved it. Need large open space and wind can be a challenge.

A marvelous decoration
I got this ball to use as a display piece at our family fun entertainment center. Nice to look at, makes us look cooler, technically available for tickets while we don't realistically expect that to happen for a long time. I haven't cared to measure what actual size it is (since other reviewers claim it's not 12"), but it definitely does the job I wanted it to do. There were some awkward things about it, though. First, The "repair kit" is just a tiny square of plastic you can cut to repair very tiny holes. For the size, this is not likely to be very useful, as any punctures you get will probably be much larger.
Second, it specifically says not to use an air compressor. I don't know what kind of power they're expecting anyone to use with their air compressors, but ours provided about 60 psi without any problems. It took me about 90 mins. to blow the thing up with that, largely because the nozzle is RIDICULOUSLY HUGE! I had to use some putty to plug up the extra space so I...

This Tool & Gadget Sets give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Not a bad buy!
So the first thing that jumps out to me, it just how badly I needed this item once I physically saw what actual portions are. While I do agree with other reviews that the serving spoons do seem fairly cheap, they are serving spoons and not cooking spoons. Another comment that I read was in regards to the cheese grater. Yes, it is small, however, that is the point. It is a serving and that is the amount of cheese you should be using. I believe that concern stated was in regards to making quesadillas. You shouldn't be making huge, cheese stuffed quesadillas. It is ok to make them it's whole wheat tortillas with a small serving of cheese. The point being, if you feel that the set isn't making you enough food - I would argue you need this set desperately.

This shipped the day after I ordered it and arrived in two days. It actually came 3 days before the estimated arrival date.

I am looking forward to using the pasta and salad dressing items. I have enclosed pictures...

2. Great tools
Great tools to help figure out portion sizes and stick to them. Makes it easy to stay on your diet or health plan.

Flimsy and handles fell off.
Bought the utensils a while back. Spatula was very flimsy and would bend with a chicken breast especially when warm. Handles fell off serving spoons within two months of purchase. They too would bend when serving warm foods. Great concept though. We don't think we are eating as much as we are. Would consider some of the other tools but concerned about quality for the price they are asking. We just decided to use old fashioned measuring spoons and cups as our utensils for serving foods. They are cheap enough at $6. $2 for spoons and $4 for long handled cups. Purchased two sets, when one is dirty we have the other. So far have lost 10 pounds daughter has lost 9 in aprox. 3 weeks.

All-Clad TSET1 Stainless Steel 6 Piece Kitchen Tool Set Caddy Included, Silver

Deals for All-Clad TSET1 Stainless Steel 6 Piece Kitchen Tool Set Caddy Included, Silver
==================================================================

This set of All-Clad tools would be recognized for its extraordinary quality in any professional kitchen. Items feature the same superior construction and finishing of All-Clad cookware. Set includes slotted spoon, solid spoon, serving/meat fork, ladle, small turner and tool caddy all in stainless steel. A great gift for a serious chef.Renowned worldwide for its cookware collections, All-Clad now makes kitchen accessories, and that's welcome news to serious and professional cooks. The five in th...
  • Set consists of solid spoon, slotted spoon, fork, turner, 4-ounce ladle
  • Cylindrical caddy is 7 inches high by 5-1/4 inches in diameter
  • Tools and caddy made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel polished to mirror finish
  • Tool handles grooved on top, rounded on bottom for comfort
  • Lifetime warranty against defects

This Tool & Gadget Sets give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Maybe the best cooks tools ever UPDATE
I can find nothing to take to task on the All-Clad tools. I have nearly all the tools they make and I like them all. They are easy to clean, no nooks for stuff to get stuck. They fit well in the hand and have a substantial, but not heavy, feel to them. Their shape is very good for the task at hand. The sole negative is their price but when balanced against the good, including the fact that they should last longer than the cook, they are a bargain at the price.

UPDATE!! WE have had these tools more than 12 years now. They STILL look like new. Daily use and no signs of wear beyond a few scratches. These are the BEST!

2. What an awesome set of tools
How many times have you reached for your favorite tool and found it was in the dishwasher or sink, waiting to be scrubbed clean? How many spoons have you purchased and tossed away?

Stylish and easy to clean, these heavy-duty tools are great. I was pleased to see that their handles mimick the handles to my all clad pots. The container is also large enough to accomodate more tools (start shopping).

Quick re-use eliminates the turnaround time with other tools. I think these will last longer since there is no wood to split, no screws to snap, and no plastic to get stained and funky.

Nice gift, since it arrives in a large, colorful cylinder package. Another hit!

Quality tools, anemic canister
Restaurant-supply quality tools (overlooking that restaurant suppliers' tools often aren't twenty bucks a pop or quite as heavy). Their weight and the size of the spoons may take some getting-used-to, but as others have stated once you do anything of lesser quality just won't do.

Each tool's handle is pierced for hanging, plenty long enough for stockpots, and stay cool. The turner is ridged with a beveled edge; unsuitable for serving up pie, but great for flipping burgers or scraping loose the fond when deglazing. The canister, by comparison, is too light-weight and tips if balance isn't maintained, unlike the Le Creuset canister, which easily handles the weight of these five tools however they're plunked in.

Nesco PC6-25P 6-Quart Electric Programmable Pressure Cooker, Stainless Steel

3-in-1 Digital Electric Pressure Cooker This Nesco Digital Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker has everything you need to make delicious meals fast. And they'll taste like they were slow cooked. It can pressure cook, slow cook, brown, steam and warm – all in one convenient appliance. It's ideal for making healthy meals; delicious homemade soups, stews and chili.

  • 6-quart Pressure Cooker with automatically locking lid
  • LED display and soft touch buttons
  • Programmable with presets
  • Delayed start up to 8 hours
  • Cool-touch lid and handles.
  • Both model PC6-25P and PC6-25(available inside) are the same.

This Tool & Gadget Sets give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Yes! This cooker reaches 15psi....Many do not!
11-03-10 - Not all electric pressure cookers are created equal!

Before purchasing this item, I researched several models. Being that most recipes are written for pressure cookers reaching 15 psi, the pressue level the cooker could attain was critical. I contacted Nesco's customer service (1-800-288-4545) to MAKE SURE this model reaches 15psi. On the low side, they advised the cooker reaches 5 psi (for veggies, custards, etc).

During my research, it was evident the disappointment people showed in other models was likely due to their cooker only coming up to 9 to 11psi on the high side, creating a MAJOR problem with food being undercooked and requiring more time. Thankfully, recipes written for a stovetop model should do great in this cooker without having to fiddle with and refigure cooking times because of insufficient pressure.

Another thing I really like about this cooker is the fact it doesn't have "pre-set programs" you can't override. I may...

2. Nesco is a Keeper!
I agree with the very thorough and very positive reviews above. So I won't re-plow the same ground that they did. However, I will just add a few additional thoughts that may be helpful. I have 3 pressure cookers, 2 Kuhn Rikon stovetop models in different sizes and this Nesco. They all have their advantages and disadvantages and I use them all. The Nesco is not the best suited for some applications (like making very large batches of soup) BUT the Nesco has three big advantages that the MUCH more expensive Kuhn Rikons don't have.

1. The cooking pot has a non-stick surface.

2. Unlike a stovetop cooker, you do not need to stay in the kitchen to monitor it. (Great time saver for busy folks who are multi-tasking)

3. As stated in the product description, it has an automatic warming feature so if your cooking cycle ends and you are not there to turn it off, it will just keep it warm for you.

I have used mine for over a year and I love it...

Stopped working after a few uses, company did not honor warranty
This unit performed reasonably well for a while. It pressure cooked things as described. However, after maybe 6 uses it lost power in the middle of a cooking cycle. There was no heat and nothing on the LED display. There had been no spillage or any other user error. I tried again later with different quantities of food or water and never got it to turn on at all. Ok, either a faulty or poorly designed unit.

Contacted the company to claim a warranty issue. After giving me the runaround they agreed for me to ship it to them on my dime and they would repair it. It's a moderately heavy item but I packed it well and paid to ship it to them. It was a noticeable amount of trouble and expense, but it was cheaper than buying a replacement. Then they had a snarky lady call me up and say that in transit some piece of plastic somewhere got dented (which is a little hard to imagine considering the build of the unit and my packing job). Although it's only a cosmetic issue (if...

1. top notch kitchen tools
These are well worth the money. the Pizza cutter and the plane grater are especially useful. The kitchen tools in this set are all great! good grips indeed! We got these because we have arthritis and have trouble using some kitchen tools, These are easy to hold and use,good looking, and are quite well built. They do what they are made to do well without requiring much effort. We are going to buy more stuff from Oxo. My kids want sets of their own for when they move out. It is a little hard to fit all the gadgets back in the bucket as neatly as they arrived.
Update: I've had these for a year now and they are all still in excellent condition and work superbly! the peeler is the bet we have ever had I had given up peeling potatos but have no trouble now. The can opener is also excellent we all are very happy with these tools

2. Great set for price...
I'm an OXO fan and haven't been disappointed yet by their products. I love this set and thought that it had all the basics (throw in a jar spatula, a ladle and a cheap-o wooden spoon and you're set to go.) My one complaint (if you can call it that) is that it is a bit cramped with everything in there. But that's an easy problem to fix...I just took some of my lesser-used tools (pizza cutter, potato masher, grater, etc) and put them in the drawer. A snap to clean and looks sharp in my kitchen. This would be a great gift for a housewarming or wedding.

A great assortment of essential kitchen gadgets. Just a little more cramped then what you see in the picture. I guess item placement is for illustration purposes.

Will make a great gift for a new bride or house warming gift.
